Light of same wavelength is incident on three photo-sensitive surfaces A, B and C. The following observations are recorded.

(i) From surface A, photo electrons are not emitted.

(ii) From surface B, photo electrons are just emitted.

(iii) From surface C, photo electrons with some kinetic energy are emitted. Compare the threshold frequencies of the three surfaces and justify your answer

\nu_{0A}>\nu_{0B}>\nu_{0C}

\\\text{if the frequency of incident photon is}\ \nu,\ by \ Einstiens \ photoelectric\ \\equation\\h\nu=h\nu_0+E_k\\therefore\\\nu_{0A}>\nu,\ \nu_{0B}=\nu,\ \nu_{0C}<\nu
